Arguably, Party Poker is the biggest
online poker room in the industry. On a typical Saturday night, about 80,000 heads from all countries could be seen actively playing this game. The site is acclaimed for their hosting of very big L Holdem tourneys, plus the fact that this online room is a stop in the WPT competitions.
This room's software is defintely above the norm. Their main lobby is user-friendly in terms of navigation. One could select to go to regular games or tournaments. A nice touch is their "average pot," which helps one to choose whether he or she wants a loose game or a very tight one. The tables have both female and male avatars, and the chip amounts are easily seen (unlike some other sites whose texts/numbers are so small you would need a magnifying lens to discern them). They also have "auto-post blinds," so you would not fail to post blinds. The Fold to Any bet function is exactly that, and it makes the game run faster.

That very first monthly tourney happened, the Bodog Fight Challenge Poker Tournament Series where the poker buffs of Bodog matched wits and skills against the Bodog fighters. Among the participants of the Bodog fights were Nick Thompson (Bodog Fight champ of the Welterweight), Jeff Osbourne, Boss Voss, Brad Picket (aka as One Punch) and still a couple of others.
At the first of the Bodog Fights series, here are some of what happened: Brad Pickett landed 101st, he bluffed 880 chips to a 500 plus chip using a 8H/AD holding.
Finishing a respectable 87th place, Robert Voss got very short-stacked, went all-in with a 10d/AD but got crushed with a 3D/3H.
The Finals (last leg) of this series had interesting (if not exactly high-rollers' kind- that's relative) prizes: grand prize is a trip for two plus tickets to Bodog events/fights worth five grand. Second place was a plasma TV, and the 3rd was a Custom poker table (Bodog).
